Samsung Galaxy S6: Disable S Voice

You can disable the S Voice feature on your Samsung Galaxy S6 if you don’t really care for the feature. Many users accidentally activate it by double-tapping the “Home” key and would like to prevent it from launching. You can turn it off with these steps.

Option 1

Open “Apps” > “Settings” > “Application manager“.

Swipe over to the “All” list.

Scroll down and select “S Voice“.

Tap the “Turn off” button.

Option 2

Option “Apps” > “S Voice” or double-tap the “Home” button.

Tap the Menu icon located at the upper-right portion of the screen.

Uncheck the “Open via the home key” option.

The S Voice feature is now disabled and will no longer launch when you double-tap the Home button.

This post applies to models SM-G920F, SM-G920FQ, and SM-920I.

Canceling Voice Assistant when you are locked out:
To open the pw screen, swipe two fingers (note: half an inch apart from each other) over the screen.
To enter your password and get to the Voice Assistant settings, use a single tap to pre-select an item on the screen (for example, a character or an app) and then double-tap your pre-selection to confirm your selection.
Good Luck!!
